Discipline isn't a dirty word. Far from it. Discipline is the one thing that separates us from chaos and anarchy. Discipline implies timing. It's the precursor to good behavior, and it never comes from bad behavior. People who associate discipline with punishment are wrong: with discipline, punishment is unnecessary.

Buck BrannamanThe horse saved my life, so that's kind of why I'll spend the rest of mine trying to help them.
Buck BrannamanThe horse seems to wanna please the human and so many times if the human isnโt much of a leader well then the horse has gotta do itโs own thinking. The horse isnโt really designed very well to be the leader but just because the horse is responding to ya, I donโt really think of it as it succumbing to you. I think itโs more of the horse sort of joining you, being more of a partner.
